General Cultivation Q&A

Hey fellow farmers! Ok, I'm relatively new here but have been searching around these boards for a fair while. I recently tried to grow but it was the middle of winter and I still managed to grow one outside! No idea how. The thing is it got destroyed by animals I'm guessing. Since it's summer now I am thinking of trying again. With purchased seeds because I really need to find an Indica strain like Hindu Kush or Aurora Indica. Is there any other strains you could suggest besides those two? I need help with anxiety and such. Any one have experience with a similar situation? What did you do? If I end up getting seed off a dealer (most likely) and it ends up being Sa…

High All I've started a small crop in a new grow house I built. Its 1.6m3 with a single 400W HPS 40cm from two budding females. I gave the cana a good soak when transplanting. I'm watering 250ml daily with Growth Technology (gt) Ionic Growth full strength and Superthrive. The cana doesn't seem to dry out but I'm not getting any run-off when watering. The plants are each in a 9l bucket. They look healthy. Any suggestions is this enough of a daily feed?

newer to starting threads than growing in coco, so i hope this is the correct place and formatt for a discussion on coco have 2 ladies, one sattiva dom, one indica dom, with what looks like about 3 wks to go, under a 4 and a 6 hps in a 1.2x1.2m room, in coco handwatered with canna coco. in coco should one flush the pot through well.. allow to drain... apply nutes and back in tha room, or, not fertilize that night but do it the next cycle, to flush the plants as well as medium? probably a waste of forum space, sorry if it is. thanks if you can help

Is there a definitive guide on how to grow using , flood and drain , drip systems in perlite , DWC etc ? I am after complete instructions on watering times etc for each . I know I could do a search , but I am after a complete guide , not just some threads . Cheers CG

Soilgrow. 3 belladonnas from paradise seeds and one single aurora indica from nirvana seeds day 24 12/12. The belladonnas grow quickly and the bud development really starts to show now. The aurora plant seems more sensitive and cant take as much nutes as the donnas. Will for the first time try to use pk 13/14 from Atami( using together with atami Terra max. Will start giving 2 of the belladonnas pk 13 14 tomorrow....do u think it will do any difference?Time will tell:)Anyone used atami products? They claim its organic.

Hey I'm really curious about how to make a plant with varrious strains on the one rootstock. Like you see citrus trees with mandarin, oranges limes or whatever; grafted all on one rootstock, I imagine the same can be done with grass can it? I have limited space for parent plants, and if for no other reason than to "store" genes, and be able to reasonably quickly get a particular strain going, without having to go through seed sprouting, selection, culling bla bla bla...Once I've gone through that, why not graft a splice of the plant that was left after all the selection, onto a single vigorous rootstock and "shelve " it for when it's needed? Is this possible without mud…

Hi I'm a newbie indoor grower. Up until a week ago I had my plants and clones outside. Now I've built a grow room. I took 5 cuttings from a female 3 weeks ago, but she was flowering. For the past week I have had them sharing the grow room for 12 under a 400HPS and then putting them outside for another 12 of oznatural. They aren't showing any signs of vegeing, and if anything the flowers seem to be getting bigger. I only have 1 grow room and the littlies have to share with the bigger ones and are >50cm from the bulb. Any suggestions to force vegeing?

this is not my design but thought it was worth the post. credit goes to Hoosierdaddy's off another site. 4 -4" 90's @ $4ea $16 1 5ft 4" pipe $7 48" bubbler wand $14 air pump $10 two port air bank $3 20ft silicone air line $8 10 ft 1/4 nylon tubing $3 Smart Valve $20 Pots (Nawsome pet treat containers or Pringles cans) Total $81 add for reservoir cost (Coleman cooler, etc...) & fittings $30 If you have your own res, you are in under $100 The rooting pots will have a couple of inches of perlite in the bottom and the rest straight coco. It has a 48" air bubbler line that will run beneath all the root pots, and an additional air stone in the res. http://i36.tinypic.…

Hello all, Long story made short, I think I have a hermaphrodite and want to know what my options are because I would like to keep the plant without impregnating it. Posting pictures tonight because the ones I took on my phone earlier are bad. I started my plants from bag seeds. When they were potted for the first time they grew like... well... weeds outside. Quickly sprouting some 12 inches in their first 2 weeks. I became concerned about neighbors and decided to move everything into my shed and set up an indoor grow room. Of the 10 plants I started 9 survived strong and one gave up all hope. I re-potted my plants into larger containers and moved 8 indoors, keeping o…

hi a few more noob questions please bare with me. I want to try a very BASIC attempt, happy to learn as I go but I'm just not able or want to make this anything significant. I guess I'm cutting corners before I start :| - potting a couple (2) seeds that have sprouted (flukey I reckon). can i use some sort of pre-mix soil (seed mix) from a gardening shop? what would do an ok job? what's my next easiest option? - I'm reading all sorts of stuff about lighting. Do I have to mess with the electrics of my house or can i just plug in a 250w light? Confused. - When do I start worrying about ph and plant food/fertilizers? Big Thanks.
